Staff turnover has been regarded as an overall measure or indication of organizational functionality. When employees are dissatisfied with their job, they tend to withdraw in order to try to minimize their exposure to the job. Staff turnover is further exacerbated by the fact that losing high performing individuals affect the productivity of the organization, as the organization loses the investment that was made in their development. As the percentage of the workforce in the professional or highly technical work increases, understanding and effective management of the employment relationship between professional employees and their employing organizations becomes increasingly important.
